In your place I would simply test with a small load if you have gallium available and report the result here.
Gallium forms an amalgam with aluminum just like mercury and produces hydrogen, but there are also some differences at the electron level that make mercury impossible to replace with gallium completly.

Exactly... this reaction is an electron swap between the aluminum and p2np. The hydrogen is actually bad for the reaction. But if the amalgam is right it will go.
